Whisky has always been an asset. The paperwork just never caught up.

Casks have changed hands on handshakes, spreadsheets and faxed delivery orders for decades. It works, until it doesn't: a warehouse moves, a broker retires, a certificate goes missing, and suddenly a very valuable object has a very thin paper trail.

Cask Base exists to fix that. We treat the record as the product. Every cask on our register has a permanent code, a physical QR label, a named storage location and a history of every movement, inspection, valuation and change of ownership. Entries are appended, never edited.

We work with independent brokers for valuations and with HMRC-bonded warehouses for storage. Clients complete KYC before they can hold anything, and warehouse and inspection partners are given narrowly scoped permissions to log only the events they are actually responsible for.
